James Obst may be the next big thing in online poker. Hes not one of these hot shot NL specialists but is a poker prodigy capable of high stakes limit H.O.R.S.E.. The 50k H.O.R.S.E. tournament in the WSOP is widely regarded as the real “main event” amongst the real pros. James Obst plays under the screen name TheFatFish at the top online poker room Full Tilt. Tonight he was multi tabling Horse poker games and playing Mike Matusow on both those screens. James was sporting his FTOPS gold jersey avatar after having won the RAZZ FTOPS event. James Obst has a big future in online poker and does not seem like a one hit wonder specialist IMO.

James Obst comes from a chess background like some of the other top poker pros.

There is a very good chance he will be one of the new Red Pros at Full Tilt poker. I was watching him tonight and he was dominating the play. He was in almost every pot and people were having to battle him every hand. He was playing an aggressive limit style like Thomas Keller and I’m sure we will see this kid win the 50k HORSE when hes old enough to play in it. After a few pros sit with him and see how he plays, I’m sure they will be signing this prodigy

Back on September 12th, Patatino set the all-time record for the largest pot won online at $609,730. That record stood for over a month, but in one night, that record was not only overtaken, but overtaken four times. Action at RailHeaven was insane last night seeing Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan “durrrr”, John Juanda, Gus Hansen, Sam Keluparo “LarsLuzak” , and elmariachimacho all seeing action.

Durrrr was the first player to set the all-time record last night in a pot involving LarsLuzak. LarsLuzak made a smallish raise to $3,000 and durrrr called. The flop fell 9c-5d-2s and durrrr check to LarsLuzak who bet out $4,000. Durrrr made a raise to $12,700 and LarsLuzak made the call. The turn fell the Ac and durrrr bet out $24,700. LarsLuzak called.

The river fell the 7h and durrrr bet out $68,700. LarsLuzak then decided to move all-in for $270,832.25. Durrrr went into the tank for a bit but finally made the call. Durrrr showed Ad-9d for top two pair and LarsLuzak showed 6d-4s for air. Durrrr happily accepted the gift of chips from LarsLuzak and raked the pot of $617,968.

The new world record for the largest online pot of all time lasted 5 hours this time. John Juanda would be the new world record holder in a big hand against durrrr. Preflop, Juanda raised to $14,500 and durrrr reraised to $43,800. Juanda then three-bets to $137,400. Durrrr wastes no time moving all-in for $338,503.50. Juanda made the call. Durrrr had Juanda dominated with pocket aces and Juanda had pocket kings. The flop fell a rainbow Q-6-4 and durrrr was well in front. A jack on the turn helped neither player. Just when it looked like durrrr would break his own record, a river king hit the board and John Juanda took the $678,069 pot and the new world record.

John Juanda probably also set the record for shortest all-time record holder as Phil Ivey set the record again in about 2 ½ minutes after Juanda. Preflop, Juanda raised to $4,500 and durrrr was all in for $1,967.50 making the call. Ivey raised to $16,967.50 and Juanda raised to $54,370. The flop fell Ac-5s-10s and Juanda bet out $112,207.50 and Ivey moved all-in for $287,408.50. Juanda made the call and showed Ks-8s for a flush draw. Ivey showed pocket 10’s for a set of 10’s and durrrr showed Qc-7c for air. The turn and river missed all players and Ivey set the new world record taking in a total pot of $687,024.50.

Juanda’s record lasted slightly longer than durrrr’s at just over 8 hours. Di Dang “Urindanger” would set the record in another hand that saw durrrr as the victim again. Preflop, Dang reraised durrrr to $45,000 total and durrrr made the call. On a flop of 5c-9h-4h, Dang bet out $52,700 and durrrr raised to $139,500. Dang moved all-in for $314,970.50 total and durrrr made the call. Durrrr would be behind this time as his pocket kings had run into the aces of Dang. The turn fell the 3d, which actually gave Dang a wheel draw to go with his aces. Durrrr was unable to spike a miracle king and Dang pulled in a $723,938 pot.

Action was hot an heavy throughout the night on RailHeaven. At one point Tom Dwan was actually down $1.4 Million at one point but finished the night nearly at break even. Although he was not involved in any record setting pots, Phil Ivey was the big winner of the night, nearly pulling in $800,000 at the tables. The biggest loser was elmariachimacho. He lost around $800,000 at the tables during the session.

Last night’s session is being hailed as one of the largest online session in the history of online poker. It appears that RailHeaven has become the Bobby’s Room of the online world for No Limit Holdem players.
